Conferencing Center Installation & Upgrade
Installing Conferencing Center
Installation Options
Conferencing Center 3.0 gives you the option to install both the booking and web client applications on
the same server or onto separate servers for security and access purposes. This information needs to be
decided prior to the installation and appropriate hardware made available.
If installing both applications on the same server PC, follow the instructions within
Performing a Full or
Web Booking Only Install
.
Installing the Web Client on a separate server is useful for sites where their web servers reside outside
the firewall or are hosted at ISPs. This installation option makes the Web Client accessible to external
users while keeping the booking site and its database secure. If this is the desired option, do the
following:
•
Follow the instructions within
Performing a Full or Web Booking Only Install
.
•
Then follow the instructions within
Web Client Only Install
.
